Critics consensus

“A well-intentioned but melodramatic look at post-Apartheid South Africa.”

It shows what can go wrong when a good-intentioned filmmaker mixes historical tragedy with Hollywood banality.

RTAustin ChronicleApr 23, 2005

There is great material here and ample food for thought, but the presentation is lacking.

J

John Monaghan

RTDetroit Free PressApr 22, 2005

Ostensibly about the aftermath of apartheid, but the pain of a people serves only as a backdrop for the most contrived of love stories.

Better than its mangy reputation.
